i LOVE hunting with my daughter

[tellnotails]

My 9 year old daughter and I went hunting together last night and harvested this beautiful mature doe.....she understands the need to keep the deer herd in check and she is becoming a great steward of the land...not to mention a great hunting buddy.....

sorry I have not posted in awhile.....been busy....

Congratulations to your DD and with an arrow yet, cool.

So since a women folk brought home supper it's up to the men folk to cook and clean up, right.

Great pic! Nothing better than daddy taking his girl fishing or hunting!

 

[We4mickey]

My dad took all of us girls hunting at one time or another. I never shot anything, but everyone should experience it. Good Job!

Renee would be proud.

What a nice deer ! And with a bow too,, good stuff !

 

[Rhonda]

Good job! Tell her congratulations!

Now....when can we expect our invitation for venison chops on the grill?

Renee would be proud.

That's something Steve O will probably not see this year is his pic with a deer.

IMHO - bow hunting takes a skilled and steady hand to hit your mark. It's so different from hunting with rifles. Congrats to your DD!! Ummmm,,, can I give you my address for some venison sausage? I'll send you a bushel of Florida Lizards in exchange!!

There ain't nothin' better then hunting with your Son or Daughter. Those are experiences I will never forgot. Now hunting with your Wife is a different story. I knew I should have never taken my wife hunting! Even my Son has never missed.....yet. My gun was broke. Really.

I'll send you a bushel of Florida Lizards in exchange!!

How tasty are these lizards?

I love how you're all putting in requests some of you want sausage, some of you want a dinner invite.

 

[Rhonda]

mmmmmm...... Lizard on a stick! My favorite!

You think it's funny that we're asking for invitations?? We're serious!!!

WOW! That's a big doe. Seems to be really healthy too. Congrats to your daughter. Those will always be great memories for both of you. I can't wait to start taking my son (3) hunting with me.

Well.....not so very healthy.

Congratulations to your dd! That took some skill!! I think it's great that the two of you can share a love of hunting and you're teaching her respect for the land and wildlife. I wish more parents would spend quality time with their children.

 

[VACAMPER]

You must be a proud daddy!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

I know Im the oddball out here...but I just cant see how this is teaching a child to repect anything.....Ive tried to teach my children to respect their elders...but never once did I hand them a crossbow or handgun or knife and tell them to kill an elder in order to achieve that respect. Im not judging anyone, and I mean no disrespect...and I AGREE 100% that ANYTIME spent bonding with your children is time very well spent, and watching them learn to appreciate a hobby that YOU have a passion for equals a pride uncomparable to much else in life....but I just dont have that animal killer instinct and am glad my kids have A DIFFERENT kind of respect for wildlife and the land. I have taken my daughter hunting on several occassions, she HAS shot many deer...but Im proud to say that the shooting was done with a camera....unfortunately, all of those photos have recently been deleted from my hard drive...maybe I should have had the photos mounted and hung on the wall...although they wouldn't have the same 3D effect as what you may have mounted on your wall.

I must admit, that IS a beautiful deer....too bad its a rotting carcus now.
Bambi's mom was just trying to let her fawn romp in the clearing, and look what happened.....yes, I cried!!!

Let the BDR bashing begin, but I just felt the need to put in a word for the non-murderers of the group....not that there's anything wrong with murder....(that doesnt even sound right to YOU, does it?)

Wow Rog, I had no idea you were a vegan! How enlightened of you. (yes, my voice drips sarcasm) I am not a hunter, but I sure appreciate the parents who teach their kids to be stewards of what they use. There is a cost to our consumption, and this girl is coming face to face (literally) with that reality and is then better able to appreciate and respect that cost. Kids who never come closer to that reality than to be "grossed out" by blood in the hamburger packaging have NO APPRECIATION for the cost of their consumption. Now if the OP were to chop off a trophy and roll the carcass into a ditch, THAT would be abhorrent.

Lesson #2, a trip to the dump to see how much we throw away followed by a trip to a shipyard to see how many containers come in from China!

Rog, luv ya man, but don't expect much love regarding this post! LOL

When I was a junior in high school my home economics class showed a film on slaughter houses. For three years I did not eat meat. I was plagued by images of cows, chickens, and sledgehammers. As time went by I gradually reintroduced meat into my diet. However, I still can not remove the images burned into my memory.
Anyways, if I had to choose how to go I think I pick the arrow over the sledgehammer.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Im sorry...I must have given the wrong impression...Im not a vegan, I'll eat the hell out of that deer...I just wont kill it!!!! And untill they stop selling it at the grocery store, or I literally cant afford to buy it to feed my family, I just dont feel any kind of need to learn to hunt or teach my kids.

Oh, yeah......I wear expensive leather boots too.
